Yes there will be some pissed off guests I think. I notice that both rivals and superman both have seemingly longer maintenance periods than previously? I’m sure rivals was only about 3 weeks last year?

Movie world have their yearly Maintenance up now for all rides

oh.... lol I did say the same thing when we were there to my wife though! No need for the thunder effects in the queue area!

It was same old same old- no changes

At movie world today. All rides except Scooby already been closed for an hour due to storms.

Scooby Maintenance has been removed this morning. Which is great as I'm heading there today!

Scooby is now down for maintenance from today. which sucks as I’m going tomorrow, didn’t get to ride it when I was last at the park for fright nights as it broke down on the day !

I see Arkham is down again for planned maintenance as of today with no end date. It has had several lengthy down periods this year. Anyone know what they’re doing to it? maybe it’s time to retire the old girl. I’m going on sat and was hoping to ride it after it’s maintenance period as that’s when I find it’s smoothest and not rough as guts.

Went on Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed the night. The fast track for the mazes was 100% worth the money. Longest we waited was 10 mins. Heres a video from around the park that night if anyone is interested

At the park today. Scooby has been closed all day due to a fault. They’re hoping to get it working again for fright nights tonight.

We usually go to Ricks for lunch each time we go to movie world. We did use this offer this time to save some money. Bought the offer online and added it to my apple wallet. When we went to the register at the entry, I showed the staff member the ticket for the meal deal on my apple wallet and she took a quick glance and gave us the drink cups and said away you go. I asked her if she needed to scan it, and she said the scanner doesn't work for that offer and they just sight it. That leaves me to think... If i leave the pass on there and don't delete it from my apple wallet and rock up in two months without having brought another deal would they even know? seems they have no way to track that the offer was redeemed.

Weren’t they always like that? I thought they were on opposite sides depending on what lift you were in of the 2 lifts.

I was there today too. All videos/screens were working when I rode Scooby three times today, as well as lighting on the last larger forward facing drop. Maybe you just had some unlucky rides? Noted the same same if you about superman water on the stairs and the missing water pool/ geiser effect inn wwf. Was a a nice day to visit. Great weather and all rides pretty much walk on most of the day!

Yeah by choice for sure! It’s the best seat. Doesn’t worry me to have to wait, I just noted that it slowed the load and unload times compared to when lockers were in use. The staff member right at the entrance is now gone, the lockers for GL that were free are now all day hire $10 ones. Being the fact they they usually run 2 trains for GL, you also have the issue of your stuff is sitting there whilst the train in front of you is also loading/ unloading so I guess there’s more or an opertunity for theft. I’ve never personally had an issue with anything like that though.

Haha I must not of got the memo then! I’ve always thought you had to use the lockers up until now.

Nah definitely GL. The lockers at the entry to it on the left as you enter were free( they also used to have a centre row and two outer rows- centre row has been removed) and they still have signage up as you enter the ride to say no bags etc and to use the lockers provided.

Was at the park today. Scooby was operational for an hour upon opening, then closed for an hour( some sort of stoppage- they kicked everyone off it) then up the rest of the day. Wild West falls was closed all day. Staff didn’t comment on why. Everythinng else was walk on pretty much the whole day Rode Arkham also today and it has gotten really really rough again, which is strange because when I last rode back in dec it was buttery smooth. Hopefully the extended maintenance period coming up for it can rectify it again. Also noted that on green lantern you no longer have to use the lockers as done so in the past. Those lockers have had one row removed now, and are now used for all day hire $10. You can now take bags/ belongings and place them in the baskets on the exit side of the platform. I did think that this slowed down operations somewhat as I was on the far row right and I couldn’t seat myself until everyone else in my row had walked through the train to place their stuff on the exit side of platform. I can see it causing significant delays in peak times if they keep it that way.

I’m at the park today. No change with Scooby when I rode it an hour ago. It has since broken down though. WWF also broken down

or you know... just do a decent job of the ride. Pretty average they can't even get the fog happening in the disco room. still.

I find Rivals to be more restrictive than both Scooby and Superman escape but as others commented, it comes down to your body shape a bit. FYI I'm a larger guy 6ft 2 115kg and I fit on rivals just fine. Definitely try the tester seat, then you know if you fit for sure before lining up.

Thanks for the reply. That's disappointing. I mean how hard is it to at least have the fog going? The lasers I can kind of understand but no fog is just silly, being the fact that it was working in the last generation of the ride fine... and they have had 6 months to get it sorted

So has anyone ridden lately and can comment on if they have the lasers/ Fog in the disco room working now? I rode on opening day and they didn't have them working. Will be going to the park again soon and was hoping that they have the effects sorted out now!

Great news if true! there were no lasers, no fog, no mist effects on opening day when i rode it

Nah sounds different to me. Its purely on that corner that wraps around just before the first drop. Cant be heard any other time. I guess that spot is probably the ne that would have the highest forces on it, none the less the noise definitely prompted me to think of it. I'm sure its all good and it wouldn't stop me from riding it, I was more curious if anyone knew what the cause may be.

Thanks for the info Glad I wasn't the only one to notice. My first ride was smooth as and no noise...second one later in the day had noise I wasn't paying enough attention to notice if it was a different train though.
